Fabulous Freebies from Writer's Digest

I don't know about you, but I cut my teeth on the craft books published by Writer's Digest. I thought of authors Nancy Kress, Lawrence Block, and Orson Scott Card as Mount Olympus gurus and learned so much from studying their words (including their fiction.)

My advice: even if you don't have time to read them right away, load up your e-reader, phone, computer or other device now, because this offer may end at any time. Most of these books have excellent reader feedback, and who knows, one of them may prove to be your personal tipping point.

Thanks to author Jana deLeon and DailyCheapReads.com for alerting me to this fabulous freebie!

Colleen, I stumbled across these on Amazon's free book list last night and downloaded four of them, three of which I already had on paper. I keep reminding myself that I can carry hundreds, maybe thousands, of books around on that little bitty reader.

Score! Thanks for sharing. This is even cheaper than I get WD books at our local library book sale, where they go for about $1-2 apiece. It seems there are quite a few people who sign up for the WD book club and never even crack the books, because most of them are in pristine condition.

I buy extras of my favorites and when I run across newbie writers who could benefit from them, I give the extra copy away. That will be harder to do with e-copies! Thanks again.

THANK YOU

In accordance with FTC regulations, we're required to inform readers that we receive books from publishers, authors, and PR folk for review. We'd like to receive money via an offshore bank account, but that hasn't happened yet. When my dad was in radio back in the '50s, a local baker used to sneak over in the dead of night and fill the back seat of his car with bread and pastries. We would NOT object to this. Please review our review policy here. And let us know if we should leave the car outside the garage tonight.
